When Today Ends

The fragility of youth is on display in this gut wrenching film. The character of Jenna Ross is a standout with a nuanced performance played skillfully through the actress's eyes. The subject matter is heavy, and while you might feel tempted to want to share with younger audiences to make them feel seen, I think the content is best viewed by adults. As an adult viewer (in my case) too old to be familiar with the added pressures of social media in high school, I found the film enlightening. What seems innocuous as an adult onlooker feels like a crushing weight to teenagers riddled with hormones. The film styling, from the point of view of social media postings, is different and pulls the curtain back on what we all know to be curated content while still eliciting compassion for the poster. Worth a watch if just to remind us that we never know what another person is experiencing, so be kind.
